Bite-sized Decadence: The Most Expensive Chocolate Truffle Out There

Valentine's may be over, but let's ponder over this for a second... La Madeline au Truffle – the world's most expensive chocolate truffle. This might just have been the ultimate seal of affection if money is no object for Valentine's or beyond.
